Traffic tickets are so stressful! A moving violation in Connecticut is when you break a traffic law while operating a motor vehicle.
Some moving violations that are common in Connecticut are speeding, running a red light, or tailgating. The repercussions for a moving violation in Connecticut range from fines to points against your driving record to arrest depending on how serious the infraction is.
In Connecticut, speeding or running a red light often carry the penalty of a fine anywhere from $50 to $300, but fortunately, they won’t necessarily add points to your driving record. Offenses like reckless driving or
DUI
come with more serious disciplinary actions including license suspension or even possible jail time.
Sometimes all it takes is one traffic ticket to send your
car insurance
rate soaring. If you’re concerned about finding affordable
